Bad Luck Begone! - The Richard Mille RM 26-02 Tourbillon Evil Eye
I didn’t really get this watch at first. As we conventionally understand the term, one is said to have been afflicted with the evil eye if one experiences an unmitigated and inexplicable stretch of misfortune, suffering and illness. It’s more or less like a kind of jinx. The way I saw it, there didn’t seem […]

Review: Richard Mille RM 27-02 Rafael Nadal
Famously worn on the wrist of Rafael Nadal, the Richard Mille RM27 is truly the epitome of sports watches as of this moment. Anyone who knows mechanical watches or watches in general can certainly comprehend that shock to a watch is like an earthquake to a wooden hut. Destructive and when at certain magnitudes, tantamount to utter destruction.

There Can Be Only One - The Roger Dubuis Excalibur Spider Pocket Time Instrument
The Quatuor is the most ambitious yet singularly least understood high-watchmaking project ever undertaken by Roger Dubuis.

Naturally Sweet - The New Lange 1815 Watch In Honey Gold
I like yellow gold. I know this is not a popular choice by any means, but I’m not going to apologise for it or anything. There is something about the unabashed richness of the hue in question that I find impossible to ignore. Rose gold, when used sparingly, can impart incredible warmth to a timepiece. […]
